How do pulmonary agents cause pulmonary edema?
They damage the alveolar-capillary membrane
What is a pulmonary arteriole?
a small artery that leads to a capillary network
What type of blood does a capillary usually carry oxgen rich or poor blood?
The pulmonary artery is the blood vessel that leads away from the heart (Artery=Away), toward the lungs. It is pumping blood to that lungs that just returned from the body (via the vena cava, into the right atrium). So the blood in the pulmonary artery has the lowest concentration of O2 and the highest concentration of CO2. It is just about to pick up lots of oxygen, once it gets to the lungs.
The path of blood flow within the systemic vascular system?
superior vena cava,right atrium,tricuspid valve,right ventricle,pulmonary valve,pulmonary artery,pulmonary veins,left atrium,bicuspid valve,left ventricle,aortic valve,aorta,pulmonary cappillaries,pulmonary trunk
What is the difference between pulmonary and systematic circulations?
The pulmonary (pulmonary means lung) circulation is the portion of the circulatory system that starts as blood exits the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery, into the pulmonary capillary bed, where it is oxygenated by the lungs, and then back through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium. Then the system circulation begins. From the left atria, the (now oxygenated) blood travels through the bicuspid (or left atrioventricular) valve, into the left ventricle and then out the aortic valve into the aorta and into the rest of the body (including the coronary arteries). The blood flows through the bodies arteries, capillary beds and veins until it collects into the two main veins (inferior and superior vena cava) that drain into the right atria of the heart. So basically, the pulmonary (or pulmonic) circulatory system goes from the right side of the heart, through the lungs, and back to the left side of the heart, while the systemic circulatory system goes from the left side of the heart, through the body, and back to the right side of the heart.
Which transport mechanism causes the respiratory gases to move across the alveolar pulmonary capillary membranes?
Diffusion
What is the mechanism that allows oxygen to move from the alveolar into the pulmonary capillary blood?
Simple diffusion
What 3 types of vessels in lungs?
They are pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, and capillary.
How do pulmonary agents cause pulmonary edema?
They damage the alveolar-capillary membrane
What is a pulmonary arteriole?
a small artery that leads to a capillary network
Why does oxygen move from the aveloi into the pulmonary capillary blood?
Because of difference in partial pressure
How does ventilation occur?
Pulmonary ventilation occurs as a person inhales and exhales air and air is exchanged between the atmosphere and the alveoli of the lungs. During this, the pulmonary capillary blood gains oxygen and loses carbon dioxide.
What does the alveoi do?
They are especially significant in the gas (air) exchange through to the pulmonary alveolar-capillary membrane.
Trace the path of a red blood cell in a circuit that takes it from the capillary bed of the right kidney to the capillary bed of the left kidney Consider that you are doing this for an animal with a?
capillary bed of the right kidney---venules---veins---right atrium---right ventircle---pulmonary arteries---capillary of the lungs---pulmonary veins---left atrium---left ventricle---aorta---arteries---arterioles---capillary bed of the left kidney (ALMOST positive about the answer, I just had a test on it. Hope it helps!)
What does the pulmonary capillary do?
The blood cells carry carbon dioxide to the lungs which, through the mechanism of breathing, gaseous exchange takes place with the carbon dioxide leaving the body while someone breathes out. When they breathe in again, the blood cells in the pulmonary capillaries get loaded with oxygen and the new oxygen rich blood goes to the heart to be sent around the body.
What is the function of a pulmonary arteriole?
a pulmonary artieriole is part of the respiratory system. inside the respiratory system is an organ called alveoli and the alveoli are covered in a network of capillary. the job of the pulmonary arteriole is to carry deoxygenated blood into the capillary network.
What is pulmonary respiration?
The mechanism of pulmonary respiration: It includes breathing movement, exchange of gases, in lungs, transport of gases by blood and exchange of gase by tissue.
